The Incorporated States of Rixurian Conglomerate is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Rixu Synthesia with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, pith helmet sales, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.985 billion Rixurian Conglomerateans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rixu. The average income tax rate is 81.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rixurian Conglomeratean economy, worth 819 trillion Ixes a year, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 136,872 Ixes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, judges are all-powerful, city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, and the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rixurian Conglomerate's national animal is the Grey Foxes, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Synthesiaism.

Rixurian Conglomerate is ranked 230,919th in the world and 123rd in Lands End for Most Stationary, with 24.6907133646 days.
